Take a look at the actural benchmarks
Hdd 101

As you will see in real life the rapitor has a small unnoticable lead over the maxtor 16mb cache. The maxtor even perform better in muti-tasking. Acturally the rapitors dont perform well at all in multi-tasking. mix with the fact for the same price you get 300GB instead of 74GB. When all said and done that seek time mean nothing in real life and maxtor is more for your money.

I dig the computer bro. You should be very happy with your choice in processor and video card for sure. Why did you buy that stuff if you aren't a gamer?!?? I'm jealous of your machine now.

good job.

*grins* I'm not a heavy gammer, but I do game some, and probably will more now... Hehe, great system for college, eh ;P

One of my friends told me he'd buy me coutner strike if I ever get a computer that'll play it...hehe

What games?

The type of game hardly matters all that much....

And its an overpriced chunk of metal. If you want an unnoticeable drop in peak ideal performance, go for the DiamondMax10s, if you want real performance go SCSI.

Hehe, well I've already purchased them, so no turning back now. Besides, I'd MUCH rather have WD over Maxtor anyday... I've had way too many of those drives just die on me...

Besides, every benchmark I can find online shows the Raptor is the fastest. Also, as I beleive I mentioned earlier, I can do fine with a 20G in my laptop and an 80G in my main system, so I beleive I'll be ok. Besides, I might invest in a larger storage drive as some others have done here... Probably some seagate...
